Do you notice mice in your house? The problem is unpleasant, but not unusual. <\/p>\n\n

If you have already spotted passages or heard scratching, the priority is twofold: make the mice already entered leave, and then prevent the next ones. Our mouse exterminator<\/a> service deals with the capture and treatment part, and the following tips cover the prevention part via isolation. <\/p>\n\n

Mouse insulation is one of those things that residential and commercial homeowners can’t ignore. Otherwise, the risk of pest intrusion increases. Rodents are one of the most frequent invaders in Quebec and they are also among those that cause the most damage.<\/strong> It is therefore essential to inspect annually and review the insulation after a certain period of time to ensure the waterproofing of your building. <\/p>\n\n

However, an anti-rodent insulation or sealant, even of very good quality, has its limits. So, how can you protect your insulation from the appearance of mice and ensure its effectiveness for as long as possible? Our experienced mouse exterminators<\/a> have put together this handy guide to mouse isolation. Discover our tips for maintaining the quality of your insulation for a long time and avoiding rodent infestations. <\/p>\n\n

In bungalows and duplexes in the suburbs of Montreal, for example on the territory of our exterminator team in Longueuil<\/a>, it is often the soffit joints and electrical cable passages that let mice in, well before the visible cracks on the ground.<\/p>\n\n

First step: the inspection of your anti-mouse insulation<\/h2>\n\n

When you have mice at home, the signs are hard to ignore. Excrement on the counter, boxes of rice or cereal nibbled on in the pantry, the sound of mice such as scratching in the walls, for such small animals, they are far from discreet. Also, it will be important to decontaminate the premises<\/a> before changing your insulation. <\/p>\n\n

Don’t wait until you are the victim of infestations of mice or other small animals to check your anti-mouse insulation. Ideally, an annual inspection of the main mouse entry points<\/strong> and the insulation that protects it is a good basis for staying protected from the appearance of a mouse colony. <\/p>\n\n
